I thought the pre-op diet would be hard as hell...well it's not great but I started my 2 week liver shrink diet Tuesday, today is Sunday & I've lost 12.5 lbs. I've NEVER been able to get the scale to budge like that. I'm sure it's mostly water weight but I can even feel a difference in my work uniform pants! I'm totally motivated by watching the scale moving....if this is any indication of how it will be after surgery I can't wait! My only fear is loose skin but I know it's gonna happen most likely. Good luck to everyone...my surgery date is 9/10 so only 1 more week on this liver shrink diet. I know I couldn't follow it for life, too many temptations out there bit I haven't cheated!

My preop dietsolidified my commitment to the surgery! I finally felt at peace.

I start my pre-op diet on Tuesday for surgery on the 10th. Sounds like you're doing great I hope I can do just as well. Good luck......keep up the awesome job the 10th will be here before we know it.

I feel the same way! I told myself I've screwed up long enough & I wasn't going to mess up b/c if I can't even do the pre-op diet then what am I doing this for. I'm amazed at myself...finding it very therapeutic as well! Good Luck!

Good luck to you as well! Will say a little prayer for you on the 10th!

Preop diet was harder for me than after surgery! You'll do great!
